Is more discharge during pregnancy normal?

Answered by the AskDoc Medical Team · Medically reviewed under our Medical Director, MBBS

Yes, increased thin, milky, mild-smelling discharge is expected as estrogen and blood flow rise; many women notice it from the first trimester onward.

See your provider for itching, odor, green or gray color, pain or burning, since infections in pregnancy are worth treating properly, and thrush is common and safely treatable.

Any gush or steady trickle of watery fluid, or blood beyond light spotting, is a same-day call to your maternity provider, whatever the week.

Is this your situation right now?

General answers only go so far. A doctor can look at your numbers and history and give you a written answer about you.
